An unidentified Texas oilman agreed to buy the 8,627- square-foot house near Beaver Creek and pay another $750,000 for the furnishings, according to the buyer's lawyer and a sales contract filed in court. The deal is set to close Nov. 9. The house has a heated driveway and a stuffed mountain lion on a 20-foot-high beam just inside the front door.

"At 10 million, it's a decent house, although some people I talked to thought it wasn't worth more than eight," said David Nilges, a Colorado realty agent not involved in the sale. "The view is to die for."

Kozlowski, convicted in 2005 of looting Tyco, is selling assets to pay $167 million in restitution and fines. Prosecu-
tors said in August he was $59 million short.

After Kozlowski missed a September deadline for full payment, a judge gave him more time.

Kozlowski also has arranged to sell another of his boats, a 1999 Hinckley Talaria 44. Purchaser Peter Dooney was to complete the $485,000 sale Oct. 26 in Stuart, Fla., court papers said. In September, Kozlowski found a buyer for the historic America's Cup yacht Endeavour for $13.1 million, court papers said.

The former executive also sold paintings by Monet and Renoir for $7.8 million this year and a Beaver Creek condominium for $2 million.

The buyer of the ski house lives in Dallas and is in the energy business, his lawyer, Glen Bellinger, said, declining to name the client. The buyer's name was crossed off the copy of the contract filed in state court in Manhattan.

"He's a fairly private guy," Bellinger, of the Dallas law firm Bellinger McManemin DeWolf, said Tuesday in an interview.

Kozlowski bought the mountain house just before Christmas in 2000 for $845,000. People can ski directly from the residence to the Beaver Creek ski area, in Vail Valley west of Denver.

Kozlowski is serving 8 1/3 to 25 years in the Mid-State Correctional Facility, a medium-security state prison in Marcy, N.Y. He must pay $97 million in restitution to the company and $70 million in fines.
